Teddy Roosevelt

I am sorry I did not post a picture yesterday, but the internet was down all day, and just now getting a signal back. So, we wrap up Dog Week with this fine picture of Teddy Roosevelt and his dogs. The picture was taken in 1905. It looks like an old fashioned Haystack in the background.

Heinz 57's by the look of them. Haystack indeed...and notice his shirt sleeves, knickers, and curled up brim of his hat. Someone went out into public like that today would really cause some glances. Nice pictures, PJM!

I don't always comment, but I sure do like watching your site. Thanks for making the effort!

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
